More From H. L. Mencken

You are also asked to take an oath, and that's the oath of service. the oath of service is not to secrecy, but to the constitution - to protect it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that's the oath that i kept, that james clapper and former nsa director keith alexander did not. you raise your hand and you take the oath in your class when you are on board. all government officials are made to do it who work for the intelligence agencies - at least, that's where i took the oath.

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

Yet, for i know thou art religious and hast a thing within thee called conscience, with twenty popish tricks and ceremonies which i have seen thee careful to observe, therefore i urge thy oath; for that i know an idiot holds his bauble for a god and keeps the oath which by that god he swears, to that i'll urge him: therefore thou shalt vow by that same god, what god soe'er it be, that thou adorest and hast in reverence, to save my boy, to nourish and bring him up, or else i will discover naught to thee.

The oath adds nothing to the obligation. for a covenant, if lawful, binds in the sight of god, without the oath, as much as with it; if unlawful, bindeth not at all, though it be confirmed with an oath.

Similar Quotes
Good and evil are names that signify our appetites and aversions, which in different tempers, customs, and doctrines of men, are different: and diverse men differ not only in their judgment, on the senses of what is pleasant and unpleasant to the taste, smell, hearing, touch, and sight, but also of what is conformable, or disagreeable to reason, in the actions of the common life. nay, the same man, in diverse times, differs from himself, and one time praiseth, that is, calleth good, what another time he dispraiseth, and calleth evil.
